So are rats but try catching all of them. I ferreted as a lad, caught a few rabbits but was not making a dent on their population.

Unnecessary or not it's here, and until the breakdown of society, you know Mad Max stylee, its here to stay. I guess we're all still coming to terms with it. Ps I'm glad you're honest enough to realise your kids are as likely to be sinners as sinned against, an all too rare commodity amongst parents.

So rabbits have been eradicated then? In defence of British "bio security" We managed to eradicate coypu which the French can't do. Because they're easier to catch. We'd like to eradicate the brown rat but..... In other words, it can't be done, it won't be done, forget about it

Why is it stressful and depressing? serious question

That's another thing, Internet dating, 10 years ago it was embarrassing now it's totally ok.

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/51029-praise-grey-squirrels.html It's a suprisingly popular topic.

Like most of us I first got a computer with the righteous aim of checking out the top quality porn I'd heard so much about, then gradually slipped into email, banking, forums etc. The road to hell is paved with good intentions....

So here I am, watching telly, talking to the wife in the kitchen, flicking around various forums on my iPad. Talking, sharing videos and arguing with people across the world about work, ferrets v kittens, or if Napoleon Dynamite is funny (it isn't IMO) I try to remember life before all of this connectivity, it seems fuzzy and "low definition" I was telling the lad in the van today about when I started in this game 20 years ago, piece of paper with an address with job spec, London A to Z on my knee. I used to think that my life was so different from my fathers (I'm 52) and yet if you think about it there was faster cars and television, apart from that our generations lives were similar. Compare that to the life of a teenager today with people of my generation, we seemed to live in Victorian times and yet it was only 25 years ago. No real point I suppose, just musing, we live in interesting and fast moving times.

I imagine to register it legally in Denmark.

I like grey squirrels, I also like pine martens, there was one living under my bath when we moved in here, fortunately he moved out when we moved in, I see them quite often here. Greys are in the UK to stay.

Well we went for it today, leylandii hedge to take out, no climbing as it had never been topped so went through the chipper like a dream. We got soaked but done by 2.30. Glad we did it now it's done!

Ahhhh, I see.

Why would you need anything longer than your arm could reach?

One-sided dieback on Lawson cypress
Mick Dempsey replied to Kveldssanger's topic in Tree health care
Seriously though it's no specimen, just shrug your shoulders and tell them nothing lives for ever. Tell them it's not its natural environment, that in its native West coast of America/Atlas Mountains/Carpathian Mountains it is used to more water/less water/ higher/ lower temperatures and the recent change in climate has done for it.. -

I felt sorry for you, sitting there without an answer, so I panicked and said something. Don't hate me:blushing: -
So wd40 and an airline then?

They were happy days, the nineties, such simple pleasures.

Old age? Just make something up and charge 'em a grand for removal. -
When I was learning I would sit watching the tv with metre of rope practicing the important knots. Again and again, until they're firmly stuck in one's head.

No! Coatsy gets his commupance in this one.

Maybe, by the way it's NOT Dave's fault the saw fell from the sky car, the old man should have attached it properly. It's all fake anyway, as soon as I saw they'd attached an old 076 or similar without chainbrake I knew it was set up for effect. It's worse than The Only Way is Essex!

So I've sharpened the grinders teeth and some other stuff, now it's Ax Men on catch up with a cup of tea.

I used to have scaffold boards to use as walkways, on sodden gardens they help a lot. Underwater is a different story of course.

I only employ one person so we will do some workshop stuff this morning, then he can go home.
